Default RE: Retract strut frustrations

One other item I noticed on my strut replacements over this weekend. The strut wire extends down past the wheel collar approximately 3/8". I am going to center my wheels in the hole, then cut/file the struts off flush with the bottom of the wheel collar. In this way, the grass will just "hopefully" slip on by.

I took the time to doube check the wheel toe in also. The wheel is straight with no stress on the wheel. But I can twist the wheel (toe in or out) so far that the bubble on my level goes past the centering lines of the level. It appears I have sloppy retracts. I did readjust the adjust set screws for when the retract is extended and did not seam to help the sloppyness of toe in or out.

Congratulations Big Ned, Hopefully I'm right behind you in the celebration.

Ozone, thanks for checking back. We are patiently waiting to hear how this is done.
